Giro del Trentino 2013

[will10]

Can't believe people can't tell the difference between Kirby and Harmon. Kirby normally says something ridiculous within 60 seconds of switching on, with Harmon it's more sporadic, maybe every fifteen minutes or so (unless someone mentions Vino).

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Carlton Kirby it is. But he and Harmon have similar voices, took me a long time until i could tell who's who.

ah taht explains it man I always think I hear the same, well they are both tools then

Those podium girls are fantastic!

Having been sex worker (male prostitute/stripper, male and female clients; see also my post in clinic few days ago) myself, and still having contact (from time to time) to former male and female colleagues, I can tell you the girls you see there are absolute multi taskers, normally.

They get sent to cycling races and other sports events by agencies. Some of them are students, some work in normal office jobs, some do these publicity jobs as main job. The "white area" is the work they do like today, in Trentino, smiling into the camera, kissing sportsmen, just standing around, better keeping mouth closed. ... and certainly hoping to get noticed by some rich business man.

The "grey areas" aren´t for TV cameras, they are from 20 pm to 8 am, offering much more money, aren´t really THAT glamourous, and you´re free to call it prostitution.

It seems to be a great job, if you look stunningly hot, you´re in, and it´s a great feeling to know that everyone that looks at you just wants to **** you, I had the same feelings, when gays stared at me. The evil thing about it is, that you know that from 25, 30 or 32 on, you´re forced to leave this business sonner or later, and that´s hard, believe me. Also aged 22 and being the sexiest and hottest person, you know that sooner or later, headlines like these will arrive:

... and that´s depressing. The higher you were and better you felt when young, the deeper you go, afterwards, mentally, and even females start to drink, then - not all, and having a solid main job when being older certainly helps, but one has to get used to the new situation.

Sorry for being off topic, just had to write this...

Well I dont often listen to British eurosport usually i listen to belgian commentary (sporza, by far the best cycling commentators), if no stream is available I listen to german eurosport and if i get fed up with those guys then i sometimes listen to british eurosport.
The way i tell them apart now is this: Kirby is the guy who went mental when Iljo Keisse won the stage in the Tour of Turkey last year and Harmon is, well, the other guy.
And you're right Kirby seems to be more of a parody of a commentator than someone who actually takes his job serious.

Guesdon was happy to meet Miss France but his expression turned a little sour when he found out she won in 1996.

now seriously,c'mon who wrote that on cyclingnews lol? that is brilliant

Yeah, in the past, they often had really great picture descriptions, sometimes with a really great sense of humor, sometimes cynical, it was great!
Just as Graham Watson did, he also offered nice texts.

Today, you see Nibali and the text says "Vincenzo Nibali (Astana)", or "Vincenzo Nibali rides in the peloton".

 

[The Hitch]

I suspect Kirby could see his own son in a race and would still call him Francesco Chicchi.

lol good one.

Or Samuel Dumuloin.

 

[search]

ah taht explains it man I always think I hear the same, well they are both tools then

I think if you are just watching Eurosport when Sporza is not showing it it'll be mainly Carlton Kirby you get to hear as he is their man for the 2nd tier races

This is my favourite Kirby commentary.

Apparently Pozzovivo crashed and had to withdraw because of that. Hopefully he'll be okay for Giro d'Italia.

 

[manafana]

Pozz will overcome it, looking forward to him in giro as he is someone who can shake it up a bit.

 

[JRanton]

So what now? The toughest climb of the race tomorrow but bouet's lead is still large.

Bouet should win this now.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Nice try by some of the "bigger" riders today.

Stage 4 reminder. Arco › Sega di Ala (166.8km). 11-ish start, finish around 15:30 (CEST).

Brentonico KOM:

Last climb:

Some opportunities for a strong break going early, but Sir Wiggo might want to win this himself.

 

[jens_attacks]

if the peloton doesn't go ballistic on brentonico, bouet got this

 

[the sceptic]

Bouet should win this now.

Im not sure about that. He could get dropped on the first climb.

 

[Pippo_San]

Tomorrow the Knight is gonna punish his enemies for their crimes against the Sky-Crown!

 

[jens_attacks]

i go with santambroggio

I think to suggest that normally the podium girls we see at races are also on the game in their spare time is a slight exaggeration.

Team Colombia's best placed rider:

35 PANTANO GOMEZ Jarlinson Team Colombia 10:02

Guys, its all in on Brentonico. With a bit of luck the telly will be on.

 

[brilleaben]

Duarte was in the main group, though. And tried to do a Pirazzi, but the master showed him.

well, 4 guys from Caja Rural came in with or before Duarte. That Spanish team isn't going to the Giro.

you'd be the last person to really speak about anything here after your porte hype failure in pais vasco. hilarious man

 

[ILovecycling]

I hope Nibali will attack on the 14% part,imo he has to sort out how to distance Wiggins before the Giro starts
